Director Luc Besson Cleared of Rape Charges in Final French Court Ruling

  • Director Luc Besson's 2018 rape case has been dismissed in a final ruling by France's highest court.
  • The court found no means to allow the appeal of actress Sand Van Roy, who accused Besson of assault.
  • Van Roy has been ordered to pay Besson €2,500 and cannot sue him again in Europe with the same charges.
  • Besson's lawyer says the ruling confirms Besson's innocence after years of investigations and rulings finding him not guilty.
  • The decision prevents Van Roy from suing Besson again in France or elsewhere in Europe with these charges.
